Franky Lau
ImageFranky Lau is a Hong Kong-based photographer and photo journalist. Though born in Hong Kong, Lau finds Sichuan and Xinjiang the most beautiful regions of China. He has photographed both areas extensively and is currently planning his sixth trip to Xinjiang in 2009. Recently, Lau has also started to focus his camera on the Hong Kong region. Subjects and locations such as Tai O's village life, Stanley's exotic mixture of East and West, Cheung Chau's dramatic contrast of present and past, the bygone Star Ferry Pier, da pai dongs and shops selling stinky tofu have all attracted his attention. Lau is determined to capture history and memories through images. While he feels that he can speak through his photographs, Lau also enjoys writing and hopes one day to publish a collection of photography and text. His photography has previously been published in issues #4 and #6 of Cha. [View]
